I had to travel through hundreds of villages, staying in countless small towns, less often in the big cities. I was accompanied by a camera of average quality necessary for the work. However, around our frameworks, our monuments, our ruins, there was the world alive, the world waiting, the world in transformation, the unknown world, the world that we would have liked to sketch immediately. But there was no time, no possibility, no authorization, no permission, no etc. There was not. The eye of my little box hastily captured a few snippets of shadows, of light and of grasping hands. Sometimes, on happy days, there was time for a framing. A wave here, a wave there, stolen from a raging sea of life flowing through all its veins. A sea of life flowing through all its gutters and its torrential rains, through all its streets and their reassuring windows. A sea of life that played at low tide with the shade of its debonair trees under the torrid suns. A sea of life that beat the fleeing roofs under the race of black clouds. A sea of life that danced its way up the snowy passes and sang down the cliffs. A sea of life with the scents of times past on the shoes, topped with the perfumes of ages to come. A sea of life that offered to the zephyrs of desire, in its hands wide open, all those I have not spoken of. They are there. They have remained there. They are still there or they are no longer there... And even more are those who have no names. In these thousands of images. What an abundance. But what to do with this insane collection, this pile, this heap of photographs? Should we bury it? Should it be burned? Should it be sorted first? What for? For giving a meaning, a direction? Towards which port? Terrible evanescence. All that remains for me to do is to grasp its reflection in the deep water that bathes the shore where many of those are already waiting for me. Why not try to draw this inevitable destiny. Also, in this series, you will find an assortment of photographs and creations, a mixture of reality and mystery. The creations are less numerous. Stripped of the immediately visible, I have polished them to make mirrors that show the other bank, finally another bank. Look at them and see inside you. I love you because you are alive. T.M.
